The Zoo

So does Bailey! … or maybe he doesn’t, it’s kind of hard to tell. He also does this with choir music, fire engines and the monthly Monday at 12pm city alarm.  Xander took this video last night while I was watching the end of Becoming Jane during a scene at the Opera.  We’ve tried so many time to catch him …

According to Bailey… it’s Chestnuts!!

Hrmm I think I may have… perhaps once or twice. Yeah, I definitely have!  LOADS! Yesterday was the first day of Autumn here in the Netherlands and what a great summer we’ve had!  Normally, I spend my autumn posts talking about what I love about the autumn but I’m pretty sure I’ve done that to death and you get the …

This has been a bad few weeks for me pet wise and anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I love my pets and it breaks my heart when anything happens to them. First there was Bailey’s attack by a pit bull, which frightened the life out of me and has left me still a little nervous …

Bailey in his Medical Pet Shirt, so much nicer than a big ugly cone! Sunday  night Xander and I went out with the dogs at about 10pm.  As we were walking along Xander was telling me how he met up with a guy a few nights ago with two big Staffordshire’s off their leashes, and when Xander reminded him about …

Ok two things first: 1) Ignore the mess in my house, it was when I was all sleep deprived, so there was no cleaning happening. 2) Ignore me and my doggy talk, it had to be done. So yeah, those two things aside… you can see that Pixel is still as spazzy as ever.  When she was a pup she …

Someone reminded me lately that I haven’t posted about any of my turtles in a while.  Fear not, they are all going strong!  I took a few photos of my little ones to share.  I’ve had them over a year now, almost 2 years actually, and they are doing really well.  They are growing, although you can’t really tell from …

People often ask me how our pets get along together, and there is no real way to answer that as it all depends on each of their moods.  Spencer generally avoids the dogs, and the dogs love to chase him every chance they get.  Bailey, at 6 years old still is very playful, but at times Pixel, our 1 year …

… but for today, I’m all about the grrrrr. Another amusing, yet frustrating, addition to the Stupid Spats section of my site. Honden Niet Uitlaten This morning my husband was going out with the dogs for their morning walk.  He asked me if I wanted to join him and I decided this would be a good chance for me to …

If you have two dogs, and you use those extension leads with the big plastic handles… don’t do like I did today and think you can hold both of them and your camera at the same time.  Whatever is out there can wait.  Otherwise, you will just end up deciding it’s a good idea to put one lead between your …

Well, Pixel is almost a year old now and has been with us for 9 months.  It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of pee and poo but we’ve finally gotten it all under control *knocks wood*.   She is so cute it’s hard to stay angry with her when she does things like, oh I don’t know… pee on …
